:Bolton is a lifelong conservative who ... played a key role in a major rules fight at the Republican National Convention in Miami, providing staff support to conservatives fighting to stave off "reforms" that would have shifted power to the likes of Nelson Rockefeller and the northeast. ...

Valeo]], [which] protected [[1st Amendment]] rights and made it difficult for McCain and his friends to do even more damage to the electoral system last year.

===Trump impeachment===
:{{Main article|Deep State coup 2.0}}
As the [[Democrat]]s [[partisan]] [[impeachment and removal|impeachment]] of President Trump foundered, Democrats and the [[liberal media]] pinned their hopes on the credible testimony of Bolton. Previously [[fake news]] media had this to say of Bolton:
{{quotebox|John Bolton has been one of [[liberal]]s’ top bogeymen on [[national security]] for more than a decade now. He seems to relish the role, going out of his way to argue that the [[Iraq War]] wasn’t really a failure, calling for U.S.-led [[regime change]] in [[Iran]] and preventive war against [[North Korea]], and writing the foreword for a book that proclaimed [[President Obama]] to be a secret [[Muslim]]. He is a profoundly partisan creature, having started a super-PAC whose largest donor was leading Trump benefactor Rebekah Mercer [owner of [[Brietbart]] ] and whose provider of analytics was Cambridge Analytica, the firm alleged to have improperly used [[Facebook]] data to make voter profiles, which it sold to the Trump and [[Brexit]] campaigns, among others.
Recently Bolton’s statements have grown more extreme, alarming [[centrist]] and conservative national-security professionals along with his longtime liberal foes. He seemed to say that the United States could attack North Korea without the agreement of our [[South Korea]]n allies, who would face the highest risk of retaliation and casualties; just two months ago he called for a regime change effort in Iran that would allow the U.S. to open a new embassy there by 2019, the 40th anniversary of the [[Iranian Revolution]] and the taking of [[Iran hostage crisis|Americans hostage in Tehran]]. His hostility toward [[Islam]] points toward a set of extreme policies that could easily have the effect of abridging American Muslims’ rights at home and alienating America’s Muslim allies abroad.<ref>http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2018/03/john-bolton-is-a-terrible-fit-for-his-new-job.html</ref>}}
